Title: Using user context information to select media files for a user in a distributed multi-user digital media system
Inventor: LOWELL STEVEN
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 2008-04-18
Abstract: In a distributed or multi-user system, it is possible for a user to try to access a media file that is not optimal for the user's purposes. In other words, the best quality version of some source material might not be the most optimal version for all users. For example, some users might use less network bandwidth if they used lower resolution video data. User context information is used to limit which versions of a source may be provided to a user that requests the source. The system interprets the user context information to provide the best quality version of the source for the user's purposes. Example user context information may include a specified working resolution and/or a specified target resolution for the user. The context information may be specified for the user or may be specified for a group of users, location of the user or other characteristic related to the user, from which the user in turn inherits the context information.  User context information may include an identifier of an application being used by an individual.  The user context information also may indicate whether the user may receive media files with data at resolutions higher than or lower than the specified resolutions.

Title: Pseudo-dual port memory where ratio of first to second memory access is clock duty cycle independent
Inventor: JUNG CHANG HO
IPC: G11C8/16
Filed: 2006-11-17
Abstract: A pseudo-dual port memory performs both a first memory access operation and a second memory access operation in a single period of an externally supplied clock signal CLK. The signal CLK is used to latch a first address for the first operation and a second address for the second operation. Control circuitry generates first control signals that initiate the first operation. The time duration of the first operation depends upon a delay through a delay circuit. A precharge period follows termination of the first operation. The time duration of the precharge period depends upon a propagation delay through the control circuit. The memory access of the second operation is initiated following termination of the precharging. The time duration of the second memory access depends on a delay through the delay circuit. The time when the second operation is initiated is independent of the duty cycle of CLK.

Title: Method of operating a combined heat and power process and gas turbine building heating system
Inventor: PFOST HEINER
IPC: F02C6/18
Filed: 2007-03-01
Abstract: A method of operating a combined heat and power process of building heating having a heating circuit and a gas turbine building heating system (1) with which in particular said method can be carried out. In particular, it is important that the building heating has a maximum heat demand, wherein the energy used in the combined heat and power process is partly converted into electrical energy and the process is carried out with an arrangement of multi-stage design. By means of the issuing expanded gas flow, heat is supplied to the heating circuit, with this gas flow being cooled. As a function of the heat demand of the building heating, the gas flow issuing from the first gas turbine stage is compressed to a higher degree by means of the compressor of the second gas turbine stage, which consists only of a turbine and a compressor.
